iMcConnell, A. H. Adams and R. N. Band.
'All of these men -wero brought to the hos-
tpltal hero today, and are being given
every attention.
The Are was discovered about 2:30
o'clock, or at a time when tho inmates
of tho boarding-house wero esleep. Its
origin is a mystery. The whole lower
' etory seemed to bo one mass of flames,
and 40 men sleeping In tho upper story
wero cut off from escape by way of the
stairway. All but tho four men burned
to death Jumped from the windows. "Why
the men who lost their lives did not leap
from the burning building Is not known.

but the men sleeping there all had time to
make their escape. Tho dwelling of Will
iam Fletcher was also burned, but no
lives were lost.
Of the $17,000 damage done by the blaze,
about $10,000 is covered by Insurance. The
mining company was equipped with appa
ratus for fighting fire, but the flames
spread so rapidly that It could do noth
ing. ,
A Coroner's Jury will investigate the
catastrophe.

FOURTEEN' CEVTS FOR HOPS.
Best Price for li01 Crop at Salem
Many 1002 Contrncts Being Made.
SALEM, Feb. 25. Inquiry among hop
rrowerg who still have hops to sell brings
the Information that the ruling price in
Salem Is 14 cents per pound. At other Val
ley towns there have been reports of sales
at as high as 15 cents, but Salem growers
say they cannot get that much. One
grower was in Salem Saturday, trying to
sell, and was ready to take slightly less
than 15 cents, but so far as can be learned
he did not find a buyer who would do
business with him.
Both growers and dealers expect the
price to go to 15 cents for hops of the 1901
crop, though some dealers assert that the
chances of further advances are not
strong.
Contracts for the 1902 crop are being
made quite freely at 11 cents, and 11
cents has been paid. From present Indi
cations a large part of next year's crop
will be sold before the hops are ripe.
Dealers evidently think the price next
Fall will be high enough to leave them a
safe margin above 114 cents. The pros
pect for a good price v 111 stimulate grow
ers to take exceptionally good care of
their crops this season.
STATE TAX STATEMENTS.
Counties Reminded It Will Soon Be
Time to Make Payment.
SALEM. Feb. 25. Under the act of the
last Legislature the several counties of
the state must pay half of their Ptate
taxes by May 1 of this year. Tho remain
ing half must be paid by November 1. As
there Is also a provision for a 3 per cent
discount to all property-owners who pay
their taxes by March 15, It is evident that
all the counties will have money with
which to pay state taxes long before May
1. State Treasurer Moore Is now prepar
ing statements In accordance with the
usual custom. Informing the several
County Treasurers of the amount duo
from each.
As there are now outstanding warrants
on the general fund, drawing Interest, the
early payment of state taxes will limit
the amount of Interest to be paid. The
counties have generally been slow to pay
state taxes, but as they will this year
have plenty of money early In the year,
no difficulty Is anticipated.
WANT TO RECLAIM ARID LAXDS.
Attorneys for Corporations Before
the State Board.
SALEM, Feb. 25. L. R. Webster, C. M.
Idleman and A. King Wilson, of Portland,
were before the State Land Board today,
asking for contracts for corporations rep
resented by them, for the reclamation of
arid land. This matter Is one that has
been before the board for some time, and
because of Its Importance the board has
been proceeding cautiously. The Oregon
arid land act does not correspond in all
Its terms with the Carey act, under which
the land la to be donated to the state.
The board Is disposed to follow the Carey
act where there Is a difference. The lan
guage of the arid land act Is not entirely
consistent, and this also gives rise to a
difference of opinion ns to the proper
terms of a contract with the reclamation
companies. Owing to the Illness of the
Attorney-General, the board has been
obliged to get aiyjfzc from other attor
neys, and this alsi accounts In part for
the delay.
The board took -no final action today,
but will announce its decision later. The
form of contract that will be adopted in
one case will probably be followed In all
cases. Over a score of irrigation concerns
have made applications for land under
the Carey act.

It takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do.
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin; makes red

leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no free, al

"FRANCES ROSS" IDENTIFIED
She Is Miss Rose McDonald, Member
of a Prominent Boston Family.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25. The mysterious
woman Inmate of the Kankakee Insane
Asylum, who gave her name as Frances
Agnes Ross when she arrived In Chicago
from Portland. Or., and who was ad
Judged insane last Christmas, has been
Identified as Miss Rose McDonald, a
member of a prominent Boston family. A
letter written by her to a sister In Bos
ton was opened before It was mailed, and
resulted In the discovery of her Identity.
William A. Morse, a Boston lawyer, ap
peared In court today, when the woman
was taken before Judge Carter, and asked
for her removal to Boston. Judge Carter
ordered the transfer and placed her In
the care of Mrs. Minnie J. Andrews, who
will act as companion. The lawyer, Mrs.
Andrews and her charge left for Boston
today.
Attorney Morse told Judge Carter that
Miss McDonald several years ago met
and loved a millionaire and retired mer
chant of Boston. He made over $45,000
worth of real estate to her and gave her
many Jewels. The man's relatives, the
lawyer said, finally brought suit to re
cover the property. Two years ago she
disappeared. Six months later he mar
ried. Early In December she came to
Chicago and went Insane at the convent
of Poor Clares, It Is thought from the
severe strain. When Miss McDonald
arrived here she had a great deal of
money and valuable Jewelry with her.
Her Boston Career.
BOSTON. Feb. 25. The case of Miss Mc
Donald, who Is being brought here from
Chicago, recalls a peculiar Incident of
seven years ago. She met James W. Gil
man, who had settled In Melrose High
lands, after having made a fortune In
Montana In sheep-ranching. He fell In
love with Miss McDonald, and It was said
Bho returned his affection, despite the
disparity In their ages, he being 60 and
she 23. It was said that Gllman made
over property worth 550,000 to her, chiefly
In Western real estate. Mr. Gllman's fam
ily Interfered, and a married daughter
applied to the court for a conservator of
her father's estate. Mr. Gllman's son-in-law
being appointed. The result was that
the engagement was broken off.
A Boston lawyer who Is associated with
Mr. Morse said tonight:
"Miss McDonald was of a very religious
turn of mind, and she was much affected
by the breaking of the engagement with
Mr. Gllman. After the breach came she
voluntarily deeded back the property to
Mr. Gllman. Mr. Gllman's daughter also
brought suit for the return of the money
given to Miss McDonald. I think the
amount sued for was about $2000 or $4000.
This suit wao defended for Miss McDon
ald, and she won It. After that. Miss
McDonald did not seem to be thei same
person. Her religious disposition mani
fested Itself more than ever, and she re
tired for a time to a convent. About two
